Curvy S Euro Headlights - SV650.org

Continental headlights for a faired curvy SV 99-02.

On dipped beam, the left hand projector light operates. Both lights operate on full beam. I reckon it's possible that both lights could be made to operate on dipped beam if you plugged it into UK wiring and put a UK spec bulb in the right hand light.

The beam kicks up slightly to the right (for driving on the wrong side of the road) and so "should" be an MOT failure in the UK. A bit of tape on the light, covering where the beam kicks up, makes it a definite pass but it's passed 4 MOTs for me without any tape - depends on your tester.

The projector light needs a two pin connector, which will be included so you can wire it up.

£20 posted if it's any use to anyone.

Here's a pic of the beam pattern for these lights.
You need to use a piece of tape on the light to cover that part where it kicks up to the right, leaving a totally flat beam.
